Abstract

In this study, it was descriptively investigated how humanitarian aid can be provided through sports in cases such as natural disasters, migration, war and conflict, which can affect people physiologically, psychologically and economically. In addition to the literature review on the subject, an attempt was made to explain the financial and moral support provided by the sports community to the disaster that occurred because of the earthquakes that deeply affected Kahramanmaraş and its surroundings on February 6, 2023, which was described as the disaster of the century. In the modern world, sports are not considered just as sports. Sports is considered an important tool in many areas, from health to economy, from gender to the cosmetics industry, from the development of countries to climate change, from humanitarian aid to the solution of social problems. As a result of this research, it was seen that sports is one of the tools preferred by countries in foreign policy and diplomatic relations. In addition, it has been determined that it is among the tools used by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international organizations in carrying out their educational, psychological, health, missionary and economic activities and creating their image and social perception. In the research, sports philanthropy, sports aid campaigns and the effects of sports on humanitarian aid were stated, and how the sports world should act in case of future disasters, how aid should be provided and the measures to be taken within this framework were tried to be stated.
